Flew in late September 2016 for four days of local hiking. Very pleasant, friendly and helpful staff and ez pick up of Enterprise rental car. "Cheap" gas, nice long runways allowed a safe takeoff and initial climb at max gross weight and 90 degrees (6000 ft DA). And yes, discovered Shat's bakery in Bishop which my German wife really enjoyed....

*Very* helpful FBO set us up with bikes for short ride to Bishop, advice for lunch, and a local map. The fastest way to town is via the gate off the end of runway 07/25.
Taxiways are a bit confusing - and not shown on SafeTaxi - but with runways in every direction there is no need to practice crosswind landings!
Note that Bishop is typically quite hot in the summer, so combined with 4100' elevation, density altitude is often quite high.

Friendly, easy to fly into airport in a great part of the world. Offered to lend us car or bikes to get into town. Yes Schat's is good but had lunch at the Thia restaurant on the field and was pleasantly surprised by the service and quality... no need to go into town unless you want to.

9/17/2012 Lots of choices for runways! This old military training airport is a great place to start a trec south along the eastern side of the Sierras. Good folks. N739jg

There is now a HERTZ rental car in Bishop.
Hertz is far easier to deal with than the enterprise rental agency up there and were highly recommended by Ken.
I spoke with Louis at Hertz at 760-872-2272.

Always a friendly and scenic airport. If you have a few extra minutes, borrow a bike and ride into town to visit Schat's Bakery. Not only do they have a wonderful variety of quality baked goods, but also delicious fresh-baked breads with which they make amazing sandwiches! When you ask for a turkey sandwich, they carve the meat from a roasted turkey. Highly recommended!
